On Feb. 23, members of the Clinical Business Intelligence Network (CBIN), will present at a pre-conference symposium leading up to the annual Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Conference, which takes place Feb. 23-27 in Orlando, Fla.

The symposium, entitled “Linking Clinical Analytics & Business Intelligence (C&BI) to Improve Clinical Care and Operational Performance,” will provide participants with the contextual, practical and actionable information to kick-start and accelerate their Clinical and Business Intelligence efforts. Participating CBIN member presentations include:

Julie Bartels, executive vice president of National Health Information for the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value, which facilitates CBIN, will moderate the session beginning at 8 a.m. EST. In addition to presentations by CBIN members, the symposium also features advice from industry experts at The Data Warehousing Institute, The Cleveland Clinic, Gartner and Mike Orzen & Associates.

“Clinical business intelligence is a cornerstone to transformation of the larger healthcare system,” said Bartels. “This symposium gives HIMSS attendees and industry leaders a chance to get a greater understanding for what their peers are doing in the C&BI space.”

Participants will learn about the critical role C&BI plays in the transformation of an organization’s clinical and financial performance, as well as tips about the governance structure, staff skillsets and workflow processes needed to launch and sustain a successful C&BI program.

“My membership in the Clinical Business Intelligence Network has accelerated the development of our Business Intelligence program, and I’m happy to contribute what we’ve learned to help others on the same journey,” said Stahl, with City of Hope.
